Had a 10/10 stay here! Firstly, we had a last minute medical emergency with our original booking and the Neelakurinji team very kindly allowed us to book for alternate dates at no extra cost. Now coming to the actual stay. The property is absolutely gorgeous and is located near Chinnakanal which is a lot less touristy and crowded than Munnar town. There is a stream, a tiny waterfall and a small cave within the property itself. There’s also a viewpoint though we didn’t go there this time. You can spend a day just exploring the property! The rooms are spacious, very clean and had a private balcony overlooking the cardamom plantation. There was just the sound of birds and nature, and it was super therapeutic. Shower area has a glass roof so you can see the sky while you bathe. The staff were really humble and accommodating, and always greeted us with a smile. Special shout out to Amal who made our stay so pleasant. Food is also available on site and was decent. The owner Mrs. Suja also took the trouble to contact us for feedback and was warm and friendly. Just a watch out- the approach road is a plantation road and may not be suitable for all cars. Also getting into and out of the property can be tedious due to the approach road, so if you want to constantly get out into town and explore, it may be difficult. Choose this place if you want a serene, offbeat and beautiful stay in the midst of nature. We will definitely recommend to all our friends and family! …

Beautiful location, excellent food, serene climate. Quite therapeutic . A very good option to unwind in the lap of nature. The cottage can accomodate bigger families. So the young ones had a lot of place to play around.

It a great place to stay inside the forest with a rich and luxury ambiance with very friendly and professional staff to assist you to ensure a pleasant and memorable stay. We had a get together of around 20 people and everyone game good feedback about the rooms, services and the location. The morning walk through the resort and near place was really nice. The stream and the small water fall is worth to take a dip. Thanks to all the staff and management for keeping the property beautiful and neat. All the best

Beautiful resort in the heart of the jungle, would definitely recommend. Lovely staff, who can help organize excursions, cab service to/from Munnar, and help with any travel necessities (laundry, etc.). Plantation walk was lively and we learnt about flora that grows in the area. Breakfast is amazing, too much to eat it all but everything tastes really good! Things to know : Hot water comes from a boiler which takes 10-15 minutes to heat up. If coming from Kochi airport, the drive is an extra 45 minutes from Munnar. This will be more special than a hotel in Munnar!

The resort is absolutely a gem, well maintained, neat and clean. The location in the middle of dense forest with lush green surroundings & clean air makes it highly refreshing and stress relieving. The spacious rooms with antique furniture & variety of flowers all around in the resort spread over area of about 10 acres with hiking trail made us feel like in a national conservation park and that too at a much low cost. The restaurant of the resort is a class in its self, the staff is highly dedicated, & food is of good quality and hygienic. Since a little narrow forestry but motor able trail leads to the resort from the main highway of Munnar for a distance of about 3-4 kms, the owner on our request sent the driver to escort our car to the property. However once you have seen the track you can easily drive to the resort. To sum up our stay has become a lifelong memory and we would definitely like to stay here again when we plan next time to visit Munnar. Dr A. K. Gupta (New Delhi )…

The Resort is great, if you love the outdoors. It has vast area, good rooms, great scenery and average food. however it suffers because there is neither any professionals nor any owner managing the day to day of it. You get to hear it has won the Best homestay award, but what you get to experience is a very hit-miss scenario. The folks who are at the resort for service in most cases just nod their head or stay mute and if you really have an issue you are left wondering. We stayed here 2 nights. First evening we drove all of 10 hrs to reach here, but had an issue with the flush not working. it took the people at the resort to give a defintive assitance and answer of over 2hrs. The owner was very responsive, howver the experience left a bitter taste. This resort could have been something at another level altogether. No one explained to us the various plants at the plantation, what areas it had, what we could explore etc. The folks employed there were simply not interested. For those who dislike creepy crawlies, a note: Day 1 there was a lizard in the bathroom (which is made like an outdoor setting but well covered, has stones etc, fancy shower etc) and Day 2 there was a large Spider in the Room. Both cases they responded promptly to remove this. What left us disgusted and aghast however was after killing the spider, the attendant tried using the bath towel to wipe off the spiders mess off the floor. When we said its towels people use on their body, the response was it will anyway get washed !! So thats what you might get when you visit....The towels btw are hung in the open near the generator and not really in a drying machine etc. Other than this , this place has a large monolith with great views, a stream, a small waterfall, bonfire and great sit outs. Rooms are decently sized and food is around average, with the breakfast being really limited. The resort doesn't leverage the space and amazing ambience at all missing out on a range of activities that could be offered or be more engaging with the guests. …
